Driving in far north today which means no radio, internet, cel service and streaming radio most of the time. So I had some time to ponder. At 60mph his truck turns 1300 rpms, meaning 1300 rpms/mile. Multiplied by just under 414,000 miles that means this engine has turned over 500,000 revolutions. Taking into account that we do a lot of idling and city driving that total could easy get to a billion revolutions. Take it to the next step and each piston, valve, and lifter has gone up or down 2 billion times +- already. This truck will likely go past a million miles making those number quite something, especially when you take into account that those parts are running metal on metal with just a thin layer of lube. Of course I could be wrong on those numbers.
So how many revolutions do you think your old tractor has? If it has a mechanical tach you could figure it. My 1030 shows about 5,000 hours and with a pto speed of 1800, that would mean half a billion revolutions. Assuming the hours are correct. No wonder they need work every day. Lol
